This is especially convenient if you, perhaps, have absolutely no idea how to fix said thing that has gone wrong.

2. It offers you the opportunity to live with friends.

Freedom to move whenever you may need to, freedom to save up for a home, freedom to go on vacation without having to hire a housesitter, and beyond!

5. Getting to know your neighbors is a total breeze.

There's a sense of unity that comes with sharing a building. For better or worse, living in an apartment building, for example, may bring you closer to your neighbors.

6. It can help you hone your hosting abilities.

If the space you're renting is smaller, things like hosting, decorating, and cleaning are a cake walk.

7. Ultimately, renting may help you decide if you want to own your own place — and if so, what style of house, condo, or other property you’d prefer.

If you like renting, maybe you’d love owning! Or maybe not!

8. And it affords you a personalized space without commitment.
